Lout is a document formatting system similar to LaTeX. The system reads a high-level description of a document similar in style to LaTeX and produces a PostScript file which can be printed on most laser printers and graphic display devices. Plain text and PDF (starting from version 3.12) output are also available. Furthermore, Lout is easily extended with definitions which are easier to write than troff or TeX macros because Lout is a high-level language. Lout offers an unprecedented range of advanced features, including:

optimal paragraph breaking

automatic hyphenation

PostScript EPS file inclusion and generation

equation formatting

tables

diagrams

rotation and scaling

sorted indexes

bibliographic databases

running headers and odd

even pages
